Gettin' Back My Game

Well, in the wake of Friday night's season opener - for the Whale and for me - I feel like it may be best to get back into the game myself. I won't be stepping on the ice - at least not anytime soon - but I'll start blowing some of those 140 character tweets back up into posts again.

There honestly has been more than a little bit of burnout from over five years of blogging about the Blueshirts but, with a new season underway everywhere outside of the NHL and Australia (their seasons go on over our summer, southern hemisphere and all that), the itch is back and my nails are long enough again to scratch it. At least for the moment.

I have about a half dozen pieces already underway about an assortment of topics, with the first due to be upped tomorrow. So stay tuned as I get the wheels on this bus going again and watch out, at some point I may just make it look mean too.

Slap Shot Quote Of The Week R.I.P. Reg

How do you feel about the DZ deal?

So who am I?

I am Ranger fan and season ticket holder who is more than a little obsessed with hockey. The first thing I can remember is watching a Ranger game with my dad, listening to him yell "Shoot the puck Barry!" I loathe the Islanders, hate everyone else in the Atlantic and despise Mmmaarrrttttyyyy and Cindy. While I am a objective journalist in real life (seriously), this is NOT a media site and is kept quite far from my profession; it is simply an outlet for me to let loose my opinions of the Blueshirts - very distinctly Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. My Ranger rantings and ravings have appeared on (or been linked to) such notable sites as the New York Times, Puck Daddy, Deadspin and NBC's Pro Hockey Talk - and I can't thank them enough. Comments and criticism are always welcome within the boundaries of good taste; feel free to e-mail me at TrueBlueFan329@gmail.com.And you should follow me on Twitter: @ScottyHockey.

All photos on this site were culled from around the web unless specified as being taken by me - that means I point out that I took the shot, put a sig on it or it's up on my Flickr page. The majority of game pics come from Yahoo! Sports, who in turn picks up Getty and AP more often than not.
I have resolutely kept ads off of Scotty Hockey; if you feel the need to spend money, please donate it to:
